Details in my previous post, as well as on Ravelry. Getting the colors true when photographed is turning out to be much tricker than I’d thought (I should probably ask Dorothy but whenever I see her at an Aloha Knitters meeting I forget to).

I’m knitting the heel flap on the first sock now, and it’s going slowly. Since I got done renewing my drivers license way faster than I’d thought (Fort St. Mall Satellite City Hall, in the door and back out with my new license in 10 minutes!), I was able to walk over to Isle Knit and pick up a pair of Hiya Hiya stainless steel 9″ circular needles. On one hand, I like that the metal needles are short. On the other hand, they are really short, and I have big hands. Not worrying about stabbing anyone (especially myself) and/or losing a dpn on the bus is a big plus, though. Sue did say that the Hiya Hiya needles aren’t good for long stretches of knitting time because you have to pinch your hands up to use them. My bus commute is 15 – 30 minutes in either direction, so I think that will work out. If I can squeeze even 20 minutes more per day into knitting these socks, who knows, maybe I’ll have them done by the end of the year!
